The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse

Chapter 39: Chapter 39, is this it? 1

Eight enemies, seven were killed by bullets.

Anyone examining the bodies would notice this.

Any observer would be curious and ask questions.

Wu Heng usually wears this type of weapon openly, so it’s the right time to inform the steward about it.

Similarly, Autruck is reminding him.

No need to answer questions that invade privacy.

The Adventurer’s Guild is different from the town guard. The weapons and equipment they use are personal items, provided by the individuals themselves.

Moreover, those who are constantly out on missions always keep some cards close to their chest, not revealing everything to everyone.

Who knows if what you reveal today might become the death of you tomorrow? So, it’s all right not to say anything if you don’t wish to.

“Okay.” Wu Heng nodded in agreement and left the room.

The steward’s office.

After knocking lightly on the door and receiving a response, Wu Heng entered. In the bright, tidy study sat three individuals.

Guild Steward Yazde, seated behind the desk, was still dressed in his usual dark suit, like an elderly gentleman.

On the sofa sat Vice-executive Slyther and an old acquaintance, ‘Moira’- the woman from the City Hall who had requested his signing of the Necromancy Restriction Act.

Unanticipated to see her here today.

The two women sat on opposite sides, their expressions serious, suggesting that their relationship was awkward.

Upon seeing Wu Heng enter, Yazde smiled, saying, “Our outstanding member arrived. Find a seat.”

Having scanned the seating arrangement, Wu Heng sat down next to Slyther. After all, everyone here is from the same guild, distinctly different from Black Stone Town.

After Wu Heng took his seat.

It was then that Yazde announced, “This is Lady Moira, overseer of administrative affairs in Black Stone Town.”

“Lady Moira, it’s been a while,” Wu Heng greeted with a smile.

“Your name is well known within the City Hall. On behalf of the council I would like to thank your team for yesterday’s actions,” Moira replied. ’ She was presumably referring to the slaying of the elders of the Church of Divine Punishment yesterday.

If they hadn’t eliminated the members of the Church of Divine Punishment allowing chaos in the city could have had dire consequences.

“You know each other?” Yazde asked, surprised.

“We met at the City Hall.” Moira answered straightforwardly.

“Alright.” Yazde nodded, continuing, “Wu Heng, we have something we need to confirm with you.”

“Okay, go ahead, Steward.”

-Among the eight bodies found, seven died of the same cause. Were you responsible for these deaths?” Yazde inquired directly.

“Yes.” Wu Heng replied.

“How did you do that?”

“With a weapon that allows attacking from a distance.”

“Can we see it?”

“Sure!” Wu Heng removed the handgun from his waist, showing it to the three of them.

All three wide-eyed, they gazed at the black handgun.

Is this it?” Yazde asked in surprise.

Yes, it’s a weapon developed in my homeland.”

“May I look at it?” Moira reached out.

Wu Heng did not hand it over, shaking his head, “Sorry, this is my life-saving weapon, and it’s not very convenient to let others examine it up close.” This world has trains, detonators, and poison smoke thunders. Who knows what kind of inspiration his weapon could bring, potentially catalyzing rapid development in firearm technology.

If various firearms were indeed invented, his advantage in this world would disappear.

Therefore, Wu Heng planned to explain his weapon but not allow them to study it in detail.

Just as Autruck reminded him, some things can be shared, some cannot.

Moira turned to Yazde.

Yazde chuckled helplessly, “The guild will not force its members to disclose their technology or secrets.”

The nature of the Adventurer’s Guild is a gathering of adventurers.

If they enforced everything, they wouldn’t have reached the level they’re at now.

“Alright then!” A somewhat disappointed Moira replied, “Did you develop this weapon? Black Stone Town could order some. The price is negotiable.” “Sorry, I didn’t develop these.”

“Well, never mind then. Your weapon has significant killing power. I hope you will keep it secure, not lose it or use it casually. If similar incidents happen, it might cause trouble for you.” Moira’s tone turned serious again.

She reminded him that it’s easy to identify the victims of this type of weapon.

And since they currently only knew he had such a weapon, if someone were killed or injured, they would find him first.

“Understood. I will comply with the rules.”

Seeing the atmosphere in the room becoming increasingly serious.

Yazde continued, “Good. We just wanted to confirm the cause of their deaths and validate that it was your team, Fourth Squad, who did it.”

“Okay.”

“You can leave now. Take some time to heal.”

Wu Heng nodded and rose. After bidding the trio goodbye, he left the study.

Back in the lounge.

Autruck and Cavina were having an idle chat.

Seeing Wu Heng return, Autruck asked, “How did it go?”

“Moira from City Hall was there. She asked about my weapon, but not much else was discussed.” Wu Heng sat down.

“The guild doesn’t concern itself with such matters. It’s important to keep certain abilities and pieces of equipment confidential,” Autruck continued.

“I know, Captain.”

After this matter was discussed, it was time to divide the reward from yesterday’s mission.

Autruck stated, “We succeeded in averting a crisis in Black Stone Town during this mission. As such, our team has received praise from City Hall and the Guild Steward and they increased the bounty for our operation, including a high quality item for each person.”

Cavina and Wu Heng perked up. This level of reward usually isn’t found in standard missions, but it was included this time.

Upon seeing the members’ satisfied reactions, Autruck smiled and turned his gaze to the table in front of him, “These are the spoils from yesterday As per the guild’s rules, since we killed the enemies ourselves, their treasures fall to us to distribute. I’ve already traded in the ordinary weapons and armor for money, and what’s left is right here.”

The spoils were divided into several categories.

weapons and armor, hand grenade scrolls, and a few fist-sized money bags, wu Heng’s gaze instinctively went to a wooden staff with silver patterns placed at the top, the one utilized by the black-robed man who had controlled the crows.
